hi all from CHCH

Post by Willb »

hi guys, just looking for a little advice. i have a 92 swb pajero currently with dead plates and am wondering is it worth getting it re VIN'd or investing in a trailer? and if i do go down the re-VINing path whether to do all the mods first or wait?

thanks in advance

diesel or petrol? What are you going to use it for mainly? if just off road work then just get a trailer. Much cheaper in the long run.

If thats the case, with the kms been out and plates dead and providing you have a decent tow wagon i would either build or buy a trailer or for it.like said above will be much cheaper in the long run.

thats just my 2c.

Nice looking paj by the way.

great thanks for the advice guys, my tow truck is a 91 terrano which does the job nicely. ive been reading a fair bit about a-frame towing things 1 question does the truck need to be registered to do this?
